Perhaps Fang Shoufu handled it properly, Li Kezhuo's matter of offering the elixir seemed to be known only to a few people in the cabinet, and there was no rumor, and the emperor he was most worried about had no reaction, and he didn't seem to know anything.

This bland appearance made Shousuke's adult breathe a sigh of relief.

Time passed slowly, and the crown prince Zhu Youxiao still closed his door and did not show up in front of anyone at all, even to this extent, except for the necessary greetings, he would never stay outside for even a quarter of an hour longer.

And the anxious Lord Shoufu didn't care too much, while urging the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the emperor, while dealing with the accumulation of official documents, he was distracted, so that he didn't have any extra energy to take care of other things, and he didn't even know the rumors about the Red Pill Elixir that were quietly circulating in the Qianqing Palace.

August 25, Royal Palace.

"Are you saying that now the eunuchs and eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace are competing to spread rumors that Honglu Temple has an elixir in his hands?" Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground to report, Zhu Youxiao asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, master, the slave asked several people, and they all said that they knew the news, and as for the source, they all heard it from others, and they couldn't trace it." Wei Zhongxian affirmed.

Shrinking in the barracks does not mean that Zhu Youxiao doesn't know anything about the outside world, the three major eunuchs under him have all been sent out to listen to the news, but the biggest gain is Wei Zhongxian, after all, he is the oldest, he has been in the palace for decades, and he knows more people.

"How so?" Zhu Youxiao muttered to himself, and the whole person was a little distracted, which was completely different from the history he mastered. Today is August 25, and according to the book, at this time, Mingguangzong should summon the ministers into the palace to discuss the matter of sealing Xi Li as the imperial concubine.

But now it's noon, there is no movement on the cabinet side, and several cabinet ministers are honestly on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, and they have no intention of going to the Qianqing Palace at all.

"Something must have happened that caused the current situation to be different from the book!" Zhu Youxiao quickly thought of a word - butterfly effect. It must be his different historical performances that have caused great changes now, and then the news that Zhou Quan came to report came to his mind.

Zheng Guifei and Xi Li coincidentally quietly enveloped the forbidden generals of the Imperial Horse Prison, and they must have ulterior motives. What to do after contacting the soldiers and horses, Zhu Youxiao, as a modern person, can easily think of it, it is nothing more than a coup d'état and murder, which is all a rotten episode staged on TV.

Now that Concubine Zheng Guifei has been killed by Yang Lian's mouth cannon, moved out of the Qianqing Palace, and gave up all political demands, then only Xi Li is left as her enemy.

"Want to mutiny? It just so happens that I still have an account to settle with you! Zhu Youxiao sneered, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The revenge of killing his mother is not shared, and if Xi Li doesn't jump out, he still has no reason to do it, but now Xi Li himself is not willing to be lonely, just like the wind and rain in history, don't blame him for being hot.

"Zhongxian, keep an eye on Wenyuan Pavilion for me, if Your Majesty summons me, report immediately." Zhu Youxiao looked at the dense tents outside the window, his eyes were cold, and the murderous machine burst out.

"Yes, sir." Wei Zhongxian only felt a cold on his body, and hurriedly agreed to go out on an errand, he felt that the current master was very dangerous, so it was better not to stay away.

Not long after Wei Zhongxian went to Wenyuan Pavilion to keep an eye on him, a eunuch came out of the Qianqing Palace, and the eunuch walked hurriedly and came straight towards Wenyuan Pavilion. At this time, it was one o'clock at noon, Han Kuang and Liu Yijing both went back from work, and the one who stayed in the cabinet was the first assistant Fang Congzhe.

Soon, the eunuch came to Wenyuan Pavilion and found Lord Shoufu on duty to deliver the emperor's message.

"What? His Majesty summoned Li Kezhuo to offer the elixir? Fang Congzhe's eyes widened, and his face was incredible. He never expected that what he had been waiting for for a long time would be such an edict.

"That's right, Lord Fang, please bring Honglu Temple Cheng to the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible, Your Majesty is still waiting for him to offer the red pill." The eunuch who delivered the decree said respectfully, the head of the cabinet is not something that a eunuch of his level can provoke.

"Then this father-in-law, how did Your Majesty know that Li Kezhuo wanted to sacrifice the red pill." A golden bean was skillfully stuffed into the eunuch's hand by Lord Shoufu, and looking at his actions, it was obvious that he had done this kind of behavior in the past.

Weighing the weight of the golden beans in his hand, the eunuch smiled so much that his eyes were about to narrow, and he got a lot of benefits, he answered Fang Congzhe's question very happily, "Lord Haojiao knows, now the news that Li Kezhuo of Honglu Temple wants to offer the elixir has spread all over the Qianqing Palace, from the big eunuchs to the palace maids who sprinkle and sweep, all spread by word of mouth, saying that this is the blessing of His Majesty's auspicious people, and the free nobles help each other in times of crisis. ”

After listening, Fang Congzhe's hands and feet were suddenly cold, and he only felt a cold breath coming out of his heart, completely freezing his whole body, and the worst he expected appeared.

As early as when Li Kezhuo came to the cabinet and said that he wanted to enter the elixir, he saw that it was wrong, and at that time he said two words to drive Li Kezhuo away, and then he didn't take too many measures, just hoping to suppress this matter and not let the emperor know, but he didn't expect that he was fine here, but rumors spread in the Qianqing Palace.

"Please move quickly, don't let Your Majesty wait." The eunuch who delivered the decree saw Fang Congzhe in a daze, and couldn't help urging him. He didn't leave after the message, he just waited by the side, obviously not stopping until he saw anyone.

"Hey!" Fang Shoufu sighed deeply, and commanded outside the door, asking people to call Li Kezhuo.

Looking around at the empty room without a cabinet minister, a trace of bad feeling appeared in his heart, and when he got off work at noon, Liu Yijing and Han Kuang both greeted him on the grounds that they had something to go to the Sixth Department to inspect, saying that they would not come to the cabinet in the afternoon. At that time, he didn't think much about it, and agreed with a casual hum, but now that he thinks about it, their various actions are strange.

If the two of them didn't leave, in the face of His Majesty's summons at this time, he would definitely take them with him, and the dangerous move of offering the elixir must have circumstantial evidence to show that the ministers were all forced, and the emperor forced them all.

However, at this time, Fang Congzhe couldn't find anyone who could walk with him, and this strange phenomenon made Fang Da Shoufu deeply uneasy.

There must be a conspiracy in this!

Just when Fang Congzhe was worried, Li Kezhuo, who was dressed in a wide robe and big sleeves, appeared in front of him, he looked at Shoufu with a smile, and there was indescribable confidence all over his body.

"Let's go!" After taking a deep look at Li Kezhuo, Fang Congzhe didn't say anything, turned around and took the other party, and followed the eunuch to the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as Fang Congzhe went out, he was watched by Wei Zhongxian, who had been watching here, and after he carefully identified and recognized the identities of several people, he hurriedly ran back and reported to the prince.

"The first assistant of the cabinet from Lord Zhe brought the Honglu Temple Chengjin to offer the elixir!"

After coming to the Qianqing Palace, the eunuchs guarding the door had a long charm to the inside, and then one after another the eunuchs shouted inside, with a unique rhythm of the voice overlapped, like a long aftertaste of music, very beautiful.

But listening to it, Fang Congzhe felt that something was wrong, why this summons meeting was so formal, just like the court meeting of foreign envoys at the court, and why he only mentioned his name alone, and did not mention Li Kezhuo at all, just a simple Honglu Temple Cheng brought it over.

Full of doubts, Fang Congzhe felt a sense of foreboding in his heart, as if something bad had happened to him, but he couldn't think it through for a while, and then he really regretted breaking with Concubine Zheng so quickly, so that now his eyes were black on the situation in the palace, and he didn't know anything.

With uneasiness, Fang Congzhe came to the emperor, Guangzong was really about to die, his face was withered, his face was sallow, and his whole person was also thin, and there was a strong smell of medicine between the beds, just by asking about these tastes, he knew how much bitter Chinese medicine he had drunk during this time.

It's no wonder that he summoned Li Kezhuo, Chinese medicine is useless, so he can only turn to the gods and strange things. Looking at the sick emperor who was about to die, Fang Congzhe sighed deeply, and then introduced.

"Your Majesty, this is Li Kezhuo."

After hearing the introduction, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the emperor's eyes, and the light of hope at that time was difficult to come to life, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Li Aiqing, I heard the rumors in the palace, you have several red pills in your hand, which can cure all diseases?" ”

"Yes!" Li Kezhuo smiled slightly, took out a sandalwood box, opened the box, and inside were three red pills. After the box was opened, a trace of fragrance wafted out, refreshing people's hearts, and such a vision made Guangzong even more looking forward to it.

"There are three red pills, which were given by the immortal master in the mountains in his early years, which can cure all diseases in the world. His Majesty will get better after taking the first pill, the second pill after five hours, and the third pill after five hours. Li Kezhuo handed the sandalwood box containing the red pill to the eunuch and handed it to Guangzong.

Li Kezhuo has the temperament of a fairy, and when he introduces the red pill, he talks even more eloquently, without fear, with an extraordinary bearing, and the faint fragrance emanating from the box makes people almost believe his words. After taking the red pill tremblingly, Guangzong picked one up and wanted to take it.

"Your Majesty, no, something of unknown origin has not been tested for poison, how can you take it at will." Seeing that the emperor was about to take the pill, Xi Li, who had been waiting next to him, suddenly became anxious and hurriedly spoke to stop him. She couldn't think of a good reason for a while, so she could only use the rules of the palace to say things.

"Concubine Ai, don't worry, I see that this red pill is fragrant, the color is round, and the red light is pleasant, how can it be poisonous. Besides, Shoufu and Li Aiqing are both my people, how can they harm me? After speaking, Zhu Changluo didn't wait for others to dissuade him, and swallowed the red pill in his hand as soon as he raised his head.

The other people next to him all looked worriedly, Fang Congzhe and some of the big eunuchs next to him were worried that something would happen to him, while Xi Li Xuanzhi was worried that the emperor would get better after taking the medicine.

Xu is red pill really has a miraculous effect, and after eating it for only a quarter of an hour, a trace of blood qi floated on the emperor's cheeks, making him look much more energetic, and after that, it was even more exaggerated, Guangzong, who had been lying in bed for half a month, actually went directly to the ground, and ate a bowl of millet porridge.
